😈😈😈Highly Improbable👹👹👹

Did I set my cellphone alarm for 3:30 a.m. last night? I think so, for I believe that I never got to bed until after 10:30 p.m. Did a tumbler of red wine (12% alcohol) following two cans of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) foul up memory this seriously?

Whatever the case, I felt myself to be sleeping well until I checked the time at what I think may have been around 2:48 a.m. At the time, I would have reluctantly risen if it was nearer to 3:30 a.m., but this was too dreadfully early because to do everything that I would usually do when I rise so very early, I would likely not be back to bed until maybe 7 a.m. ─ that's just too punishing, for it comes close to demolishing my day, since I would be rising anon to watch morning T.V. with my younger brother.

So I cancelled the alarm setting and resolved to sleep as best I could, perhaps rising on my own around 4 - 5 a.m.

I felt myself to be sleeping poorly, yet when I eventually checked the time after realizing it seemed excessively light outside, it was a little past 6 a.m.

Miserably, I rose to deal with the watering of the front yard garden flowers ─ I am certain this chore is more like 45 minutes or even an hour than the half hour I once claimed.

I got that done, then went out to the backyard tool shed for the exercises I skipped the previous two mornings ─ six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups. Fortunately once I managed to limber up enough to deal with them, I managed to hit my recent norms: two sets of pull-ups (six and two); two sets of chin-ups (three in each set); and two sets of pull-ups between the bars (two in each set). But I could not deal with the profound strain of doing a dead hang for a 50-count after the last pull-up, and I quit right after a 30-count.

Then I entirely forgot about the 31 squats to work my damaged right leg, and thus I never did do those. But I intend yet to have some exercise in my wife's vacant bedroom, so I will perform them then.

Anyway, after the tool shed I got back into the house just as my brother came down the stairs. It was 7:30 a.m. at very most, and probably earlier.

I always have lots to do here at my bedside computer each morning, so I never went downstairs to join him until around 9 a.m.

Once he turned the T.V. over to me so that I could start operating our Android TV Box, I tuned in a 1⅓-hour video published earlier today to Rumble's Real Truth Real News channel: 🎬 🌦️ Documentary: 'Climate the Movie' (The Cold Truth) ☾☼ Exposing the Climate Change Hoax.

"Climate: The Movie (The Cold Truth)," released in March 2024, is a thought-provoking documentary directed by Martin Durkin and produced by Tom Nelson. This film exposes the climate alarm as an invented scare without any basis in science. It shows that mainstream studies and official data do not support the claim that we are witnessing an increase in extreme weather events -- hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and all the rest. It emphatically counters the claim that current temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 are unusually and worryingly high. On the contrary, compared to the last half billion years of earth’s history, both current temperatures and CO2 levels are extremely and unusually low. We are currently in an ice age. It also shows that there is no evidence that changing levels of CO2 (it has changed many times) has ever ‘driven’ climate change in the past.

Then we finished the last 35 minutes of an hour-long video we had broken from yesterday, and which had been uploaded December 30, 2020, to YouTube's Free Documentary - History channel: Death From Above - Classic Fighters of World War II | Free Documentary History.

Classic Fighter – the story of the great piston-engined fighters of World War Two. A tribute to the men who flew them, and to the men and women who guided them and kept them in the air. Made in conjunction with the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, this programme tells the story of these great war planes. Stunning air-to-air flying sequences are intercut with interviews with pilots and aircrew of the British and American air forces. Some of the fighter aircraft featured are the Supermarine Spitfire, the Hawker Hurricane, the Messerschmitt Bf109,   the P-47 Thunderbolt and the P-51 Mustang.

Our third piece of entertainment was a movie, but it had to be broken from due to its length ... so maybe tomorrow we will continue with it. I will comment on it when we do watch it all.

I had eaten during the Climate Change hoax documentary, so after my brother was enjoying further bed rest, late into the noon hour I also returned to bed ─ and I seemed to sleep deep. It was after 2 p.m. when I roused, and it took me some time to finally get myself up again.

At least the day remained primarily overcast, so I was not jeopardizing any chance of backyard sunning. But this is my fourth consecutive day without that exposure.

Right now it is 4:15 p.m., and I want to get that exercise in my wife's bedroom out of the way. This also is a bath day, so I shall have to tend to that drearily long chore as well.

Naturally, I will also be watching at least a couple of shows here on my bedside computer following a very light supper, and a couple of beers will accompany the shows.

And so here I break until later into the evening.

🟤🟤🟤

With that extra time to spare ... I descended into dissolution. There was to be no exercise. Heck, even my brother was back home from his social drinking by the time I was rid of my ... addiction ... for the next several days, at least.

Unsure what to do, I tuned in The Avengers ─ episode 24 ("Mission... Highly Improbable") of season five. This was the season (or series five) finale episode. I have only been interested in catching the episodes up to Diana Rigg's final appearance and thus never intended to go any further, but I see that she has a farewell appearance in the next season or series debut episode, so I will get around to watching that one at some point.

My source this evening was this OK.ru link, but it kept having innumerable very brief ─ a second or two ─ pauses of the video throughout, even though the audio continued unbroken. I did give this Archive.org link a try, but the colour was so pathetically faded by comparison to OK.ru that I just could not support watching the show there.

I drank one can of beer and got into a second before the episode had concluded.

I shall miss Emma Peel, but I hope to watch other Diana Rigg performances elsewhere.

Next I tuned in The Guardian ─ episode 19 ("Lawyers, Guns and Money") of season one. 𝒮𝒽𝒾𝓉, hardly anything in this darned episode turned out 'good'. It was an excellent show, but I need to have some 'feel good' before I go to bed.

Or in my lousy life!

Anyway, my flawless source was this GOOJARA.to link.

I wanted more to watch, and to drink. I'm sick inside.

But if I have even a remote hope of getting up in the weest a.m. for an essential outing, I must acquire bedtime earlier than usual and hope for the very, very best.

I'm nothing.

I am going to start shutting down now at 9:15p.m., but it will likely take a minimum of 15 minutes.
